As a parent--and a rabid First Amendment advocate--I can't see what harm it would do to make it harder for Junior to get the bloodier stuff.

This has been the cause of discord here. Peace cannot be achieved through war. Mindanao should remain part of the Philippines, just as Kosovo should stay within Yugoslavia. JOSE FREDERICK P.
